Highclere Thoroughbred Racing an Introduction HIGHCLERE THOROUGHBRED RACING AN INTRODUCTION Highclere AN INTRODUCTION Highclere Thoroughbred Racing was established because of a passionately held belief that everyone should have the opportunity to be able to share in what we consider to be the greatest show on earth. A sport that can render you exhilarated, frustrated, joyous, disappointed and triumphant all within the space of a few hours. A sport that is at once spectacle, competition and social occasion like no other. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION Although all of our owners start as strangers there is one thing they have in common, the horse. Without this they may never have met, but with it they shake hands, share a drink, swap notes on yearlings, learn from trainers, compare form, debate past performances, commiserate on a second place and revel in the joyous aftermath of seeing their horse enter the winners’ enclosure. When you chose to take a share in one of our syndicates you will enjoy the racing experience at the very highest level and in a way that only we can deliver. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION We have built deep bonds with owners and trainers alike and our team continue to strengthen those bonds on a daily basis by ensuring that our communication is professional, timely, clear and friendly. “They’re really, really well informed and this is where many syndicate operations have suffered. Everyone knows they are meticulously honest and furthermore they have a very good record of buying horses. They take a lot of care in the selection and that gives their owners a chance.” Sir Michael Stoute, Trainer Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION “What makes Highclere so good is the size of the syndicates. By limiting the numbers of owners they are much more personal and I think is appreciated by both the owners and the trainers too.” William Haggas, Trainer Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION Whether it’s in person at stable visits, by phone or via email in our regular and tailored updates, we keep all of our owners completely informed on details relating to their horse or horses as if they were the sole owner. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION Over the years we’ve put together a first class team. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION Winning is important, of course it is, and our record on the racetrack speaks for itself. Highclere owners have enjoyed success at all levels of racing with Group 1 winners, multiple Champions and Royal Ascot victories. 40% of Highclere’s runners at the Royal Meeting have won or been placed since our first runner in 1994. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION Harbinger produces one of the greatest Ascot performances of all time in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes winning by an unprecedented 11 lengths. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION Petrushka, a true Highclere great, cruises home under Johnny Murtagh to win the Irish Oaks at the Curragh – the first time in racing history that a Classic had been won by a syndicate company. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION Derby winner Motivator – bought by John Warren and managed by Highclere on behalf of the Royal Ascot Racing Club – is now enshrined in bronze by Gill Parker at Ascot racecourse. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION As well as racing here in the UK, Highclere is growing its presence on the international racing scene with syndicates in France, Ireland, Australia and the USA. We work with some of the finest trainers in these territories and our owners have enjoyed some terrific success. Shares in these syndicates are open to all and provide a unique opportunity to travel with us, meet new trainers and benefit from the significant prize money that international racing can offer. Jubilation! As Brenton Avdulla salutes the crowd after Libran grabs victory in the final stride of the G2 Chairman’s Handicap, Royal Randwick, April 2016. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION Jumpers – as they are affectionately referred to – were first offered by Highclere in 2009. The horses are purchased from a variety of backgrounds, including France and the Point-to-Point fields of Ireland. As with our flat horses, the jumpers are placed with the very best trainers in the National Hunt game, including Paul Nicholls, Nicky Henderson and Dan Skelton. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION The Highclere trophy cabinet is a testament to our success over time. Since 1992, horses managed by Highclere have won or been placed in 37 Group One races, including all of the British Classics. No other multiple ownership business can boast this level of achievement, making us the most successful syndicate company in Europe. A fraction of the trophies on display at Highclere Headquarters. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION John Warren is one of the most talented and highly respected horsemen in the world and has purchased the vast majority of Highclere horses. He has bought us a staggering seven European Champions and one World Champion. Jake, John’s son, has inherited his father’s eye and is now a key part of the buying team. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION Highclere owners don’t choose this life just so they can be in the winner’s enclosure, rather they want to experience the full spectrum of ownership which we provide. Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION To witness a horse develop through training and be in awe of the beauty of nature as the sun rises over the gallops… Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION …to be enriched by the knowledge passed on by trainers… TO BE REPLACED Highclere Highclere AN INTRODUCTION AN INTRODUCTION …and to be warmed by the friendships that develop by being part of the Highclere experience. Friendships that will last far beyond the life of a syndicate. Highclere AN INTRODUCTION “It’s given me another chapter in my life. Lunches, lovely drinks parties, great dinners, good company... what more can one want? You’re meeting nice people as well, that’s what a lot of it is all about.” Highclere owner Highclere AN INTRODUCTION Our aim is that one day you will share the ultimate experience of ownership and be swept up by the maelstrom of elation and emotion when your horse, the horse that you have witnessed at first hand grow from yearling to full blooded racehorse, surges past the winning post ahead of the field.

    The University of Sheffield Stravinsky’s piano works from three distinct periods: aspects of performance and latitude of interpretation Mengjiao Yan A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music The University of Sheffield Jessop Building, Sheffield, S3 7RD, UK September 2019 1 Abstract This research project focuses on the piano works of Igor Stravinsky. This performance- orientated approach and analysis aims to offer useful insights into how to interpret and make informed decisions regarding his piano music. The focus is on three piano works: Piano Sonata in F-Sharp Minor (1904), Serenade in A (1925), Movements for Piano and Orchestra (1958–59). It identifies the key factors which influenced his works and his compositional process. The aims are to provide an informed approach to his piano works, which are generally considered difficult and challenging pieces to perform convincingly. In this way, it is possible to offer insights which could help performers fully understand his works and apply this knowledge to performance. The study also explores aspects of latitude in interpreting his works and how to approach the notated scores. The methods used in the study include document analysis, analysis of music score, recording and interview data. The interview participants were carefully selected professional pianists who are considered experts in their field and, therefore, authorities on Stravinsky's piano works. The findings of the results reveal the complex and multi-faceted nature of Stravinsky’s piano music. The research highlights both the intrinsic differences in the stylistic features of the three pieces, as well as similarities and differences regarding Stravinsky’s compositional approach.
